Summary
The thing is, Callum’s- well, he’s Callum. The bloke from the bookshop that’s tucked down just away from Albert Square, that you’d only really see if you were looking for it. The man that’s hidden behind a door that was once bright blue, but that’s now faded and chipped with time and the shitty British weather. The clumsy, friendly guy behind the counter with little to say for himself and little to be remembered for. He’s just him, and he’d found some way to be content in that, a quiet little life with nothing much to speak for.
Whereas Ben- in the same way Callum’s just Callum, Ben is Ben Mitchell, the man who’s been in near enough every movie that Callum’s seen showing at the cinema in the city for the past year. He’s something else, something so much bigger than Callum could ever really comprehend.
They don’t work (they shouldn’t work) and they’re nothing alike (maybe they’ve got more in common than Callum ever thought)-
-but maybe that’s why they do.

Summary
Eddie's final thought is of Buck.
Of course, it ends up not being his final thought- not by a long way.
That doesn't change the fact that he'd resigned himself to it, stuck that far underground, and all he could think about was Buck.

Summary
Ben’s always taken some sort of solace in the night. It’s a place to hide away, to feel like there’s no one else in the world and a lot of the time that’s easier than facing up to things. It’s something to belong to, without the pressure of being and it’s a refreshing feeling - one that’s so starkly different from harsh daytime, when people expect and they judge, with harsh eyes and sharp words. There’s expectation in daylight, but there’s nothing like that in moonlight. It’s a blank canvas, and it’s a gateway to something bigger.

Summary
“Bed, now,” Buck pants, hands dropping down to fumble with Tommy’s belt until he’s ripping it from the loops with practised ease.
“Uh, Evan,” Tommy pauses, blinking around the room aimlessly, “where exactly is the bed?”
“Floor,” Buck answers, far too preoccupied with sliding his hand into Tommy’s jeans and pawing at his cock to care about something as trivial as shame. “Haven’t, uh, had the time to set things up yet.”
Buck and Tommy have some casual, definitely not at all ill-advised, ex-sex: an 8.11 coda.

Summary
And so Buck keeps putting it off. Keeps waiting for the perfect moment, when all the stars align and nothing could possibly be distracting or go wrong. When the mood is exactly right, and neither of them has had a bad day or anything to get to.
The moment never comes.
Instead, what happens is this.
Buck, and the terrifying concept that to be loved is to be seen.

Summary
His hands fidget during his HRT consultation, a nice, middle-aged man talking him through what to expect, any side effects, how he’ll inject the testosterone into his thigh. He’s shaky the first time he ever does it, and it hurts possibly more than it’s supposed to, but it’s a breath of fresh air all the same. Alone in his shitty apartment on his bathroom floor, staring at the small puncture hole in his thigh, he starts to cry. Not from sorrow, but happiness.
It’s finally happening, after so many years of wanting it. It’s happening.
evan buckley finds a life, and a family, for himself.

Summary
There are a million things Tommy could say. He’s Evan’s mentor. He’s fifteen years older than him. He’s not out. Anyone could see them. Bobby could see them.
Instead, he stays meekly quiet as Evan crowds him up against the tiled wall of the shower room, pushing him through the open door of one of the shower stalls and closing it with his foot.
“I didn’t know I could want this,” Evan confesses, lips alarmingly close to Tommy’s again, “I thought I was straight. I thought you were straight.”
“We can’t tell anyone about this,” Tommy says, breathing embarrassingly heavy.
“I don’t give a shit,” Evan returns, leaning up just enough to catch Tommy in a much hungrier, much more assured kiss.
OR
Tommy leaves the 118 six months later than he should have. This changes a lot, and also nothing at all.
